"The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well."
"At last," thought I.
I think I was so into the book, or, spent too much time on it in the compressed given days that, intentionally or not, was bonded to the story, hard to shake it off.
When Hogwarts finally came into view, you know it's the climax. I just couldn't help it. Like we all say, what's savoring is not the result, but the path of getting there.
I was relly fond of McGonagall, she and her courage. Cool till the last minute. When she turned to Slughorn and said, "we duel to kill", I couldn't control my affection and the brimming tears. It was so powerful and with total determination. So moved was I, again, at seeing (or reading) the following scene at the Great Hall. Idiotic, isn't it, to be moved by something like that, especially when you've already expected it, cuz that's the way it should go. And again when people of three parties joined together at the Room of Requirement. Scenes totally made up, intentially, to move and arouse readers, and succeeded on me.
But besides these moving tears there were also bitterness. Severus and his secret. It didn't get me till the very last page of the chapter, "Look at me". And though I did not cry, it was bitter.
"You have your mother's eyes" is what people all say to Harry. Their use, or value, are completely shown with Severus' "look at me".
And it really got me.
Besides these there're still many impressive moments, big or small. Parts that are not so interesting also exist. Like Dumbledore's past and his confession, which to me was only as a mean to lift Harry to an even higher status than the rest. But I doubt the need of this and the time for such. For one, people err, it's human nature. For another, how can you compare a teenage kid (yeah he's been through a lot) with someone who's seen too much of the world?
But there's a perfect explanation for this, as well as the overly-easy mysteries: it's for the still-young readers. Can't make it too complicated for them. (No sarcasm here)
So I guess there's no need to go on, being too serious then?
Maybe some other time, if I still feel like it.
Anyway it's been good, I mean the journey through all seven books.
